" Three Buchla modules including one of a kind hand made Lag module.

First 2 up are an original Buchla 124 patchboard module which has been coupled to a custom patchboard module that converts signals to RCA jacks from the 1/8 jacks making it easier to interface with newer amps and other equipment. After some recent repairs all jacks and wires are intact. There is one jack that looks like it was designed to feed a wire through it so I have left it untouched. It has various labels that I thought best not to remove, they are fun to look at and imagine who may have made them.

Also included is a Buchla 100 type Lag controller module custom built.

This is a very interesting module for the Buchla 100 modular system. It came from a fully functional Buchla synthesizer and is totally compatible with the other 100 series modules. The cool thing is it seems to be a one of a kind custom module. There was no Lag controller in the standard line up of modules in either the 100, 200 or 200e series, so apparently some one had one made. It's very similar to the other modules from the system, same connectors, etc and will add a totally unique sound ability to any 100 system. I purchased the modular system in the late 70's in about 10 year old condition, so this module was made around the same time as the standard modules which gives it that great vintage analog sound. Also interesting is that I purchased the Buchla modular from a studio on Bleeker st, NYC, where Buchla himself used to teach and build beta modules, so who knows. It is very rare to find a custom vintage module for these systems and will turn any Buchla modular into a truly unique machine. This is a one of a kind item.

The creator of the module definitely took it seriously. It's made of similar materials as the other modules with a brushed stainless steel plate. The connectors and knobs are measured out evenly and are professional labled. It's in decent condition for it's age, some small scratches, but the electronics are intact, pots turn smoothly and appear operational. One of the knobs was missing when I bought the synth and I replaced both with new ones to make it functional. It worked fine on my modular years ago with no need to connect to power as the pots and caps are just delaying the signal. I no longer have the modular system, so there is no way to test the module again. It is sold as is as a vintage collectable. Serious bidders only please. Buyer pays actual shipping and insurance."
